Hi everyone.
I am currently handling a structure that requires dynamic analysis for blast loads. I hope someone could enlighten me on the following:
1. Why is there a need for a dynamic analysis on blast loading? Is applying max blast wave pressure in Staad not enough? What's the advantage of doing dynamic analysis on blast against static?
2. I read that you have to define time history when analyzing for blast. How will you define that one considering there will be different impacts of blast on front wall, rear, sides and roof?
If you can communicate with me directly, that would be very helpful. Giving me example of blast analysis would be extremely beneficial.
I am not always here in this community because I am very busy in the office.
